If you want to be strictly accurate, then using Roman Numerals is correct. Actually, if you look closely at the decals with a magnifying glass, the small decals for the various parts say NIE 17. The only surviving Nie17 ln Brussels also says NIE17 yet the SPAD says Xlll, just like my references. I think it’s because all the SPAD Xllls has no other versions whereas the Nie17s had an A, B, and C version due to the armament differences. Nie17a had a Lewis fun on the wing. The Nie17b had a vickers on the nose. The Nie17c had both Lewis and vickers. quang and Rick Griewski 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Jack Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 I like the Bebe and will get all that CSM produces to go with all my Hobbycraft and Roden models. rhwinter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Jack Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) I am building a respectable French force. It’d be nice to have more French two seaters and bombers. I have this huge book on the French Airforce Of WWl, and what models I do have only take up about a dozen pages of this book. I appreciate the two Salmson kits, and the Morane Saulnier, and I love Nieuports and SPADs. We even lost the only Company making the only SPAD Xlll, but the French Airforce was so much more, but looking at my shelves, you wouldn’t think so.

Rob Owens Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 CSM would sell a lot more of these two if they choose to include decals for airframes OTHER than IRAS . . . Jolly Roger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
